The NFL is close to finalizing a deal with Netflix to carry its upcoming Christmas Day slate. That's fine. Netflix costs anywhere between $6.99 and $22.99 a month.
However, Netflix is yet another bill that fans have to pay to watch the NFL closely this season.
Let's review:
Viewers still need basic cable to watch games on CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, ABC and NFL Network. Did we miss any?
Cable options include YouTube TV, DirectTV, Dish, Xfinity, AT&T, Spectrum, etc. etc. On average, cable costs around $80 a month.
**SNIP**
To watch the NFL this season, you need cable (ESPN, ABC, Fox, CBS, NBC, NFL Network), Amazon Prime, Netflix, ESPN+, and Peacock. That'll cost you $112.96 a month from September to January, for a total of $451.84.
And that's if you sign up for the lowest packages each service offers.
But, wait, it's not that simple.
Fans still won't have access to whichever games they want at $112.96 a month. That price only gets you about five games a week (sometimes a few more with the occasional Saturday or Sunday morning window).
To choose the games you want, you must purchase NFL Sunday Ticket. Now sold via YouTube – good riddance, DirectTV – Sunday Ticket costs $449 (!!!) a season.

Paramont+ is also getting exclusive games.
I’m not a Taylor Swift fan and I don’t watch the NFL or NBA.
Think of the money, I save.
Any price at all is too much for the woke NFL.
It got too expensive for me to watch the NFL when they got too lazy to stand for the Pledge OF Allegiance.
